@Paul2013
You referenced in the original post you used the SAME SPACE for both as a W-2 employee and as a SE person filing a Sch C. Since you use the same space for both situations you fail the exclusive use test for the OIH deduction on the SE income (sch C) and the W-2 deduction (sch A ) has been removed for now (not sure if it will return in the future... we will see what congress decides).
